We salute Coca-Cola Philippines and the Coke Studio artists for doing their part in helping Maranaos and the city of Marawi.

Music will once again be heard in the streets of Marawi City and in the hearts of Maranaos as the government and members of the private sector work hand-in-hand to rebuild the city, its communities, and homes. In support of various efforts, Coca-Cola Philippines, through Coke Studio, spearheaded a hydration drive in evacuation camps, including the Maria Cristina Evacuation Camp, Buruun Gym, Sta. Elena Evacuation Camp and Saguiaran Gym, where around 5,000 Maranaos are sheltered.

Each family received various Coca-Cola products, including three 6-liter bottles of Wilkins Distilled water, and Coca-Cola shirts, while young local musicians sang OPM hits for the crowd. Customer partner Shakey’s also provided snacks for the evacuees.

The evacuation center in Saguiaran, which has one of the biggest concentrations of Maranaos, hosted a mini-concert featuring a Coke Studio bands The Ransom Collective and Franco. They sang their own songs and distributed hydration kits to the evacuees.

“This is our way of showing support and solidarity with the Filipino people – to be able to contribute in the rebuilding process. Music is one of the things that threads through every person, regardless of age, religion, culture, and socio-economic bracket,” said Stephan Czypionka, Marketing Director of Coca-Cola Philippines. “We are committed to help the communities that we serve, especially in times like these that we have to come together to rebuild not just the physical structures, but most importantly, the lives of the people.”

Coke Studio was launched early this year and successfully changed the OPM landscape with its creative collaborations with various artists. It also served as a platform for teens and young adults to come together, drawn by their common love for music.

The Filipino youth is also coming together to help rebuild Marawi, driven by their passion for music. A benefit concert at the Mall of Asia concert grounds, and a recyclables collection drive are just some of the fund-raising initiatives to build schoolhouses through the Little Red Schoolhouse program implemented by the Coca-Cola Foundation Philippines.

The construction of a school building is part of the commitment of
Coca-Cola Philippines through the Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation’s (PDRF) United4Marawi campaign. The Company also joined the PDRF in a three-day medical mission for the evacuees in Iligan City. Volunteer health care professionals provided check-ups, surgical procedures, and psychiatric intervention to the evacuees.

The Company also provided for the daily hydration needs of the members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines stationed in Mindanao.

“We are committed in helping rebuild Marawi and the communities impacted by this conflict. In partnership with relevant government agencies, we in the private sector will be bringing our sustainability initiatives to the area,” said Jonah de Lumen-Pernia, Public Affairs and Communications Director of Coca-Cola Philippines. “Our 5by20 entrepreneurship programs will be provided for the spouses of soldiers deployed in Marawi, while water systems will also be installed in the communities. We’ll also build a Little Red Schoolhouse.”
Coke Studio staged a benefit concert for the rehabilitation of Marawi on Saturday, December 9th, at the MOA Concert Grounds. Coke Studio artists such as Abra, Gab and John of Urbandub, The Ransom Collective, Gracenote, Moonstar88, Autotelic, Ebe Dancel, Franco, Reese Lansangan, BP Valenzuela, Sandwich, Noel Cabangon, and Curtismith, joined various school bands for the benefit concert. A collection drive of PET bottles was done on site to help raise funds.

If you have been trying to get pregnant with no result, you shouldn’t be concerned and hurry to jump to conclusions that you are infertile. You will get more reliable information from a fertility chart. Now that you have made your first fertility charts, you will be impatient to know the interpretation of your chart.

Normal Two-Phase Fertility Chart

This type of fertility charts tracks the normal two-phase menstrual cycle and are characterized by the fall in temperature of a woman before ovulation and menstrual cycle along with a rise in the temperature of the 2nd phase cycle by at least 0.4 Celsius. The duration of the temperature during post ovulation is between 12 and 14 days.

Estrogen-Progesterone Deficiency

During the second phase, the temperature of the body will rise slightly. The slight difference in temperature between the first phase and second phase shouldn’t be more than 0,2-0,3 Celsius. If you have this type of fertility chart, you will be able to deal with issues caused by the deficiency in Estrogen and Progesterone. A gynecologist will suspect that the fertility issues in a woman are caused by hormonal disorders when a fertility chart repeats the above pattern from cycle to cycle.

Anovulatory

It is normal for a healthy woman to experience at least one anovulatory (i.e., when ovulation doesn’t occur) cycle during the year. However, if anovulation occurs from cycle to cycle, a woman will not be able to conceive, since conception cannot occur without ovulation. Anovulatory does not occur with any prominent rise in temperature throughout the cycle. You should visit your doctor, whenever you have the following repetitive pattern three months in a row.

2nd Phase insufficiency

This pattern is associated with the probability of a woman having miscarriage rather than that of infertility. In other words, it’s possible for a woman to get pregnant yet is risky. How does the chart work? Shortly after menstruation, the basal temperature begins to rise, while the woman will not experience any fall in temperature before menstruation. Also, the 2nd phase lasts for less than ten days. You should visit your doctor, whenever you have the following repetitive pattern three months in a row.

Estrogen Deficiency

The temperature curve of a woman tends to be chaotic unlike the previous types of fertility charts. The fluctuations don’t fit into any type, described above. A distinct deficiency usually causes this pattern in estrogen. Also, irregular factors may also be among the culprits.

So, you can get some clues about your condition, when you analyze your chart curves. Your fertility chart should be the first indicator of any possible fertility issues when you have difficulty in getting pregnant; however, this is not a diagnosis yet. For instance, women with irregular cycle lengths (28-34 days) may not ovulate in the middle of the cycle, that is, 14th day of the month. The women may ovulate between 14th and 20th day which is a norm for them.

Common Errors in Fertility Charting and How to Avoid Them

Use a proper BBT thermometer:

The common thermometer used to measure our body temperature when we have cold or flu shouldn’t be used to measure your basal temperature because they are not accurate enough. Rather, purchase a BBT thermometer, and you will be able to get an accurate temperature within 0.1 degrees.

Take your temperature at the same time each morning.

This is very crucial, yet most women desperate to get pregnant overlook it. Before taking your basal temperature, you should be asleep for at least 6 hours. Also, you should take your temperature before doing anything else- even before going to the bathroom. However, the time you do this is very important, and it includes weekends. It should be at the same time every day, before even getting out of bed!

Note the reading immediately, in writing.

You should note your reading immediately in writing and not rely on your memory after you have gone back to sleep. Many BBT thermometers remember the last recorded temp, so you could refer back to your BBT once awake and ready to transfer your temperature to your chart. You can also transfer this to your chart as soon as you can to see if there are any signs of increase in the fertility of your body with the latest data. If there were any unavoidable changes in the way you took the reading (for instance, you were a few minutes later than usual), then you should note this on your chart.

Take a vaginal reading rather than an oral one, for much greater accuracy.

Most women take oral reading which is less accurate. It is because of the external factors that can influence the temperature reading of your mouth. The factors include cold or sleeping with the mouth open. In order to avoid the possibility of anomalies between various thermometers, you should use the same type and make of thermometer for every reading. You should also use the same method of taking the reading as well.

Avoid alcohol

You should avoid alcohol consumption or anything that can disrupt your fertility if you are really serious about getting pregnant. However, if you drink alcohol, then note it on your chart. It is because alcohol can be responsible for any variation in your normal reading patterns.

Although, a woman has the best part of a week to get pregnant, this varies from person to person. Your difficulties in getting pregnant may be due to bad timing. When you use the fertility charting methods and avoid the common errors described above, you will get the best help possible and the best possible chance of timing things right. And if you want to increase chances of conceiving a girl or boy in particular, timing is key.

Before concluding on your reading patterns, it is advisable for you to meet your doctor for a professional diagnosis and treatment. Your doctor will need an ultrasound examination and a hormone test result. That’s why you should set your worries aside even if you’ve got a reading pattern that is unfavorable and set an appointment with your doctor.
